The Lancaster (PA.,) New Era, In
speaking . good word for her owr
franklin and Marshal College, gives
some insight in 10 the COST OF an educa-
tton ct Yale and other large colleges.
Yale will this year graduate 149 schol.
Ars, thu largest class In her history. A
good many particulars con corning the
personnel of these graduates have been
made public, none OF which are more
interesting than those relating to the
average expenses Of the students dur
ing their collegiate career. The Era
has learned that during the freshman
year the average expenses per studenS
we're 1884 SO; OF the sophomore year,
$9H 81; OF the junior year, 1898 80. and
Of the senior year, $9iS %, making an
aggregate OF $3,7i4 80. O1iy three out
OF the 149 spent less than $3.50 year,
seven less than $500 Ipd fifteen less
than $500. Fifteen men spent 81 500 a
year ON an average. The average price
Of boarding WAS s. 20 per week the
highest price paid WAS 50 . week.
Oom pared with these expenses, the Era
presents Franklin and Marshal College,
where the average annual expenses are
only $3.50, or 81, 400 for the whole
course OF four years. These differences
In prices would indicate that Yale Is q
very dear place to be educated that
indeed about two-thirds OF the whole
cost are thrown away for the sake
merely OF reputation. We have our
doubts whether reputation Ia worth
what Is paid for 1t. Many OF the bes!
scholars Of the country go. through col.
lege By being GRAND boys and doing
little chores about the college from
which they graduated. The SUDDEN
VINO pays 50 week for his board q
Yale and more than $1,000 year 10
other 30 called necessities, will hardl!
make more OF q mark In the worll
after lie graduates than President Gar
fed did, who worked his way throuzl
college by ohopping wood to pay for hi
